2 foreign nationals breach UK base housing key US, NATO intel hub amid $556M expansion

Two Latvian nationals, aged 32 and 36, were arrested following a security breach at RAF Molesworth, a sensitive UK military base housing U.S. and NATO intelligence operations. The incident began late Wednesday night when an abandoned vehicle was found, leading to the discovery of a fence breach and the eventual apprehension of the suspects inside the base at 2 a.m. Thursday. While initially detained for trespass, the men were rearrested under the National Security Act. British counterterrorism officials are investigating the incident and searching properties in Peterborough, though they have cautioned against premature conclusions regarding espionage or terrorism.
